Beveling - Craftsman 113.20680 Owner's Manual

When planing wood 3/4 in. thick and NARROWER than
the hold down!push block, ti]t the hold down/push
block so that it clears the top of the cutterguard while
feeding.
Never plane wood that is thinner than 1/2 in .... because
it is apt to split or shatter and thus has a greater tenden-
cy to kickback.

Adjust the fence to the desired angle . , , tighten fence
and guard lock knobs.
Follow the same procedure for jointing or planing.
NOTE: Removing only the corner on the edge of a board
is known as CHAMFERING.
Normally a chamfer is made with one cut.., therefore,
a cut deeper than 1/t6 in. may be made.
Use hold down/push blocks for wood under 3 in. wide.
Position them so you have control of the workpiece at
all times and so they do not contact the guard or the
c_tter head.
CHAMFER BEVEL
NOTE: Rabbeting on a Jointer is considered to be a
dangerous operation because it requires removal of the
cutter guard and increases the potential of kickback be-
cause of excessive depth of cut.
Never attempt to perform a rabbeting operation on this
Jointer.
Rabbet cuts should be made on the Radial Saw or Table
Saw by making two cuts with the sawblade or by using
the Dado Head or Molding Head. Rabbet cuts can also
be made using the Shaper or Portable Router.
